The APAS is a FAIR TRADE association. It consists of 70 small producers located in the District of Ferreiras, municipality of São Gonçalo do Sapucaí, South of Minas Gerais. The region is privileged in several factors: soil, climate, rainfall and an altitude of 1000-1500 masl, which provide a favourable micro climate for the production of high quality coffees.
That’s because the coffee produced in this region, especially the natural ones, are highlighted with excellent scores: they’re always above 80 points in the SCA classification scale.
Furthermore, the number of producers seeking improvement in quality with natural and pulped natural coffees has grown a lot in the last years.
At 80 Stone Coffee Roasters we are proud to work with producers that value people very much. That’s what makes APAS different from other associations: it’s not only the quality of coffees, but the quality of the people who produce these coffees.
